Robert grew up on his family’s working cattle ranch in Shandon, California. After studying business management at the University of Tampa (go Spartans!), he spent several years on the East Coast farming before returning to the Central Coast to be closer to family and continue his career in agriculture in the Santa Maria Valley. Carly grew up on the East Coast and in Michigan, where she earned both her undergraduate degree and Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Michigan State University (the real Spartans). She is a small animal emergency veterinarian, and after vet school, her career (and a little encouragement from her brother, Billy) brought her to the Central Coast of California, where she met Robert. They quickly realized they wanted to build their life together here and are excited to make this beautiful area their forever home.
